Do androids dream of electric sheep?

Glad you caught the reference! There's a few more buried in there

Top right, is that a Ghost in a Shell?

I do like the irony of all these natural and animal symbols occurring in a cityscape that would absolutely not allow for them to exist.

Gedaru t1_iu4mld7 wrote

You just made me realize Judy Alvarez’s tattoo (From Cyberpunk 2077) is also a ghost in a shell. Wowzers.

Don't ask me how many hours I've put into the game and not realized this.

Holy shit. Thank you. And here I was trying to think what significance a sperm had to a scallop.

I have never seen ghost in the shell, but it’s now on my to-watch list once I finish Attack on Titan.

I’m on Season 6 no spoilers!

There are a lot of Ghost in the Shell series. I'd recommend to start with Stand Alone Complex.

The license plate on the car is 1982, the year bladerunner came out

ediks t1_iu4k5ud wrote

That’s the same year I came out too! Also, I guess I’m dumb. Saw “Night (City)” and my mind went to Cyberpunk.

I made this as an homage to cyberpunk as a genre, there's also a ghost in the shell on the aircon

Why does his head go up and down?

KillerRabbitMedia OP t1_iu499dl wrote

It's a pretty common way to animate breathing in pixel art. Because the resolution is so low, one pixel distance looks like a lot of movement

42

flyingtrucky t1_iu4m9p2 wrote

Look into sub-pixel animation. It helps smooth out the sudden jump between pixels by instead shifting the color of adjacent pixels. Basically pixel art motion blur.

11

KillerRabbitMedia OP t1_iu4rcq8 wrote

Thanks for the tip! I am actually familiar with sub pixel animation, you can see it on his head if you look up loo at his chin and hair. The effect is not very noticeable here because the color palette I used is very small

I know this wasn’t the inspiration but the neon sheep reminds me of a sign we have in my city, the Portland Oregon Old Town sign. It stands out against the downtown cityscape every night. Awesome art.

Looks gorgeous! I wonder if there are any digital picture frames that would support animated gifs. I love this style of art and would love to have one that could cycle through.

It does seem like it's looping a tad fast, in my opinion, but that looks great!

KillerRabbitMedia OP t1_iu598pf wrote

Thank you, definitely agree about the gif speed, should be maybe 50 percent slower. I'd love a kind of Harry Potter gphoto frame for gifs too

Stupid question, but how does one make pixel art ??

KillerRabbitMedia OP t1_iu5aky6 wrote

Everyone's approach is different, I like to choose 4-5 colors and a small canvas and see a what I can paint within those constraints

I see a ghost in a shell, an electric sheep... Haha what other references am I missing

1

KillerRabbitMedia OP t1_iu52epb wrote

Haha well spotted, the full list is; the origami unicorn, 1982 license plate and Tyrrell corporation logo are references to bladerunner (1982), the electric sheep is a reference to Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K dick, the logo below the sheep is a reference to altered carbon, the building next to the sheep is a reference to the goggles from the cover of Neuromancer, the car is the quadra v tech from cyberpunk 2077 and the ghost in a clam is a reference to ghost in the shell

No you didn't, all you wrote was a comment to an NFT website, you advertised a scam, not suggesting anything to OP.

NFTs are a scam and pathetic. Stop spreading NFT shit.

Mmm, arts art man. Pretty sure a public company wouldn't be doing NFTs if it was a scam.

This is GameStop, they'll do anything for a profit. NFTs are a scam.

NFTs don't help in the slightest, that's why they're a scam.

You can "own" an NFT without owning the copyright, so you don't actually own anything. The NFT can be right clicked and saved.

NFTs are a scam.

tsrines t1_iu5n1yy wrote

NFTs are just smart contracts. So you are saying that whiskey makers who are relying on smart contracts for authenticity believe it is a scam? What about that reddit avatar you might wanna buy with your VISA/MC. Well its an NFT. Nicely done

haaiiychii t1_iu5nd4g wrote

It's still a scam. Buying an NFT offers no extra protection than selling the copyright with a receipt.

I could sell you an NFT, but sell the same art with a different number to 10 other people, who owns the art? Me, because the copyright would be mine.

If I sold the copyright and gave a receipt to the buyer they own it.

NFTs are a scam.

tsrines t1_iu5ns2e wrote

What if OP wanted to sell the work as a collection. If I paid for his collection and it wasn't on Blockchain, how can I prove that the digital art is indeed part of the collection. Any thoughts, digitally, on how copyright can help in that regard?

0

haaiiychii t1_iu5qawi wrote

That's what receipts are for, a receipt would say every art piece in a collection.

But again, the NFT doesn't mean you own the art, you would "own" the NFT, it doesn't mean you own the copyright to the art.

NFTs are a scam.

You should educate yourself on what an NFT is because you clearly don't understand.

NFTs and block chain are the future. You're on a .gif subreddit trying to convince me and this OP, who is talented, that they shouldn't look at NFTs to have an additional revenue stream. It's a GIF...he can mint an NFT and put it on loopexchange.art for like pennies. And someone will buy that. Guaranteed. You, are uneducated. You can read it I'm living it. Keep paying for digital items behind walled gardens.

haaiiychii t1_iu5udi9 wrote

OP can sell art without using a scam like NFTs, they help neither the buyer or the seller.

They're a scam.

It's amusing you're trying to claim I'm uneducated yet you've fallen for the crypto bro scam.

Educate yourself on them, you clearly don't know enough about art, or NFTs. Are you 13? Here's more info on them for you https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/sd33w2/_/
